The indoor pool is embedded in the lower spa level. Its glass enclosure rises up above the central courtyard space acting as a glowing focal point at night.

Treetop Residence

Circular floor plan and fully glazed facade provide 360 degree views of the valley, creek and forest marsh setting. Occupants control floor to ceiling blinds on tracks that provide shade and privacy where desired. Operable windows encircle the modestly sized living space to allow for fresh air ventilation, and greater experience of forest surrounding.

Dragonfly on Helmken

This suspended viewing platform design is inspired by the beauty and structural efficiency of the dragonfly wing. The seemingly flat surface of the dragonfly wing is actually strengthened through curvature and a high level of corrugation. Furthermore, the delicate form of a dragonfly wing fittingly suggests lift and flight. Extending 10 m out from the cliff side, the boomerang-shaped deck provides breathtaking panoramas of Helmcken falls.
